Thanks to the guys over a TP-Link we have one of these cool WiFi socket to give away!

The HS110 is a Wi-Fi Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring that can switch up to 13 amps. It doesn’t require a hub of any sort, just a connection to your Wi-Fi. Control it with Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant, Cortana, Nest or IFTTT.

Remote Access – Easy setup and control from anywhere with the free Kasa app (iOS, Android).

Scheduling – Schedule the Smart Plug to automatically power electronics on and off as needed, like setting lights to come on at dusk or turn off at sunrise.

You must complete both steps in order to enter. The competition is open to anyone with a UK postal address and closes at midnight on 18th November 2018. A winner will be chosen at random. Check out full T&C here and Good Luck!

My baby has a lot of troubles sleeping, so I want to hook up an electric blanket controlled by the temperature of the room from a multi sensor. I’m hoping that keeps her cosey in the night for some rest for all of us. X

I’d add the TP-Link homebridge plugin to my existing Hue, WeMo, Plex Sensors and Tesla Climate control setup.
I could then set schedules for it using the Home app on iOS to come on and off when people arrive/leave 🙂

What better way than to set it up in time for Christmas!! TP-Link Plug for the Christmas tree lights (no more crawling around getting spiked by needles) with a routine on Alexa set for “Alexa, It’s Christmas” to turn plug on and the room lights on red/green!

Definitely would use to remotely control the heat lamp/UV lamp for our tortoise, Brian. Can use the power monitoring to generate a notification if either bulb has blown or failed so he can always be warm!
